RULES, REGULATIONS, AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1.
CLASS ATTENDANCE is required. Students with 4 (four) unexcused
absences may result in administrative withdrawal from a class.
2.
SMOKING is NOT ALLOWED in the class or lab.

Lecture MAKE-UP EXAMINATIONS is up to the discretion of the
instructor. Make-up examinations may be given orally, in essay form or not
given at all. Make-up examination will have a maximum of 90%
(reduction of 10%) depending on the reasons for missing the scheduled
examination.
5.
CHEATING. Students will receive a letter grade of “F” for the course.
6.
ADA. “Any student with a documented disability (e.g. physical, learning,
psychiatric, vision, hearing, etc.) Who needs to arrange reasonable
accommodations must contact the Disability Services Office at the respective
5
college at the beginning of each semester. Faculties are authorized to provide
only the accommodations requested by the Disability Support Services
Office. If you have any questions, please contact Donna Price at 713-7185165 or the Disability Counselor at each college. Southeast College: Ms.

7.
STUDENT COURSE REINSTATEMENT POLICY: Students have a
responsibility to arrange payment for their classes when they register, either
through cash, credit card, financial aid, or the installment plan. Faculty
members have a responsibility to check their class rolls regularly, especially
during the early weeks of a term, and reconcile the official class roll to ensure
that no one is attending class whose name does not appear on it. Students
who are dropped from their courses for nonpayment of tuition and fees who
request reinstatement after the official date of record payment of tuition and
fees who request reinstatement after the official date of record (OE Date) can
be reinstated by making payment in full and paying an additional $75 per
course reinstatement fee. A student requesting reinstatement should present
the registrar with completed Enrollment Authorization Form with the
signature of the instructor, department chair, or dean who should verify that
the student has been regularly attending class. Students who are reinstated
are responsible for all course policies and procedures, including attendance
requirements. A dean may waive the reinstatement fee upon determination
that the student was dropped because of a college error. The dean should
note the nature of the error in a memo to the registrar with appropriate
documentation.
8.
LAB EXERCISE AND LAB REPORT: Although students work in groups,
individual active participation is expected. Students are required to complete
the lab reports, staple them and turn them in when due. There is no makeup for missing a scheduled Lab Practical Test.
9.
LABORATORY SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS must be
followed during all laboratory sessions.
10.
SOME HCCS WEB SITES TO NOTE:
(A) Web site for HCCS cancellation, delayed opening/early closing –
(www.school-closings.net)

(B) Grades will not be posted and must be accessed via the internet
(www.hccs.edu).
11.
Let us please respect one another by not disrupting the class. ALL

EXAMINATION
There will be three lecture examinations, one laboratory examination, a
comprehensive final examinations. Final examination may or may not be
comprehensive, depending on the general performance of students before the final
examination. Answering of all the Review Questions at the end of all the chapters
may be used as extra points for those students who may need it (not more than 5%
of the total grade).
There may be class assignments, discussions, and pop quizzes. Please always come
to the class prepared.
Each lecture examination will comprise of some or all of the following section:
Section 1: Multiple Choice
Section 2: True and False
Section 3: Matching
Section 4: Completion
Section 5: Definition of terms

GRADING
The grading scale that the lecture examinations, laboratory examination, and final
examinations will have in the determination of the student=s final grade in the
course are as follows:
(A)
Three lecture Exams -------------------------------------------- 60%
(B)
Final Examination (Comprehensive) ------------------------- 20%
(C)
Lab Examination ------------------------------------------------ 10%
(D)
Lab Reports -------------------------------------------------------10%
(E)
All Self-Quiz Questions (if needed) -------------------------- (+ 5%)
GRADING SCALE
Averages are calculated and letter grades are assigned according to the traditional
ranges:
A = 90 - 100
B = 80 - 89
C = 70 - 79
D = 60 - 69
F = Below 60
Note: Students are responsible for calculating their own grades if they have a need
to know their grades before receiving official grades from the school. The
instructor will not post or calculate grades for students prior to official
grades.

WITHDRAWALS
Read the STUDENT HANDBOOK, note the dates for withdrawals. It is the
student’s responsibility to officially withdraw from class to avoid an unwanted
grade. Remember that not attending class (or staying away from class) does not
constitute official withdrawal from the course. Grade of “F” may be assigned if a
students stops coming to class but not officially withdrawn from the class.
Note the following dates:
